Detailed Description
The Situationist International (SI) was a revolutionary international movement that was founded in 1957. The SI was active in a wide range of fields, including art, architecture, urban planning, and psychogeography. The SI is best known for its theory of the derive, or drift, which was a form of urban exploration that sought to challenge the traditional ways of perceiving and experiencing the city. The SI was founded by a group of artists, writers, and intellectuals, including Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, and MichÃÂèle Bernstein. The group was influenced by a wide range of thinkers, including Marxist theorists such as Antonio Gramsci and Walter Benjamin, as well as the Surrealist movement. The SI’s ideas were developed through a series of theoretical texts and manifestos, as well as through their practical applications in the form of urban interventions and experimental films. The group’s most famous intervention was the construction of the Situationist City in Paris in May 1968. This project was a response to the traditional city, which the SI saw as a tool of capitalist domination. The SI was dissolved in 1972, but its ideas have continued to exert a significant influence on artists, writers, and thinkers.
